Early Sunday morning marks the end of Daylight Saving Time in Claycord, so before you go to bed on Saturday night, set your clocks back one hour.
Enjoy your one extra hour.
Below is a video explaining Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight Saving Time Ends On Sunday Morning – Change Clocks Back One Hour
previous post
As we change clocks tonight please change batteries in any and all smoke detectors.
Repeal
Why is it called daylight savings time? It doesn’t save or change the amount of daylight, it only changes the hours we receive the light.
My thought is it’s saved until the evening.
Extra hour?
.
A day will still consist of 24 hours.
.
At 2:00 time turns back to 1:00. 25 hours on Sunday. But the real question is why bars don’t stay open that extra hour.
Old-school, The bartender works an 8-hour shift.
Who goes to bed on Saturday nights?
It’s the wee hours of Sunday morning unless you’ve become an oldster.
“In the wee small hours of the morning
That’s the time I miss her
Most of all ….”
In the October 1582 we shifted from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. Thursday October 4, 1582 was followed by Friday October 15, 1582 meaning the calendars were shifted forwards by ten days. At the time there was considerable debate on if landlords should be allowed to charge a full month’s rent, if moneylenders should charge a full month’s interest, etc.
If someone is working a graveyard shift should they gain or loose an hour as we switch to or from daylight saving time?
So… voters said to stop the time change 4-5 yrs ago – the measure passed. State legislature has the order and authority to make it happen…. leave it to Cali staff to again ignore the will of the voters…. we need to vote them out next election
CA opting out alone would be a disaster.
Cali isn’t the only state wishing to change – 18 other states in addition to those that have already changed https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2023/11/04/california-voted-in-2018-to-stop-changing-the-clock-so-why-are-we-still-doing-it/
.
Proposition 7, approved by nearly 60% of California voters, allows the state legislature to change the Daylight Saving Time period by two-thirds vote if the changes are consistent with federal law. So if a supermajority of lawmakers approve, the state either could eliminate Daylight Saving Time altogether or, with the help of Congress, extend it year round. But for whatever reason, they haven’t taken it up yet.
.
THIS IS CA GOVERNMENT “AT WORK”.
.
DOMO,
.
It doesnt matter if California voters voted to stay on Daylight Saving Time all year because the states don’t have the authority to make that decision, as it’s Congress that has that authority. However, states can stay on Standard Time all year long without congressional approval. The states of Hawaii and Arizona, with the exception of the Navajo Reservation within the state of Arizona, already stay on Standard Time all year long.
This is why I check Claycord every day. I had no clue…would have shown up to work an hour early. Thanks, Mayor!
Sending a sincere thanks to the Mayor of Claycord for valuable information and I get downvoted. Sometimes I just don’t get this place.
Isn’t this racist?
Time shifting frightens and confuses me
There’s something like 20 states that want to eliminate this, but it requires Congress to make it happen.
I believe it’s been brought up in Congress multiple times but can’t make it through the House.
Eliminate “this” which way? Some wanted to get rid of DST and others like this state DST year round. Some argue that Arizona has a year round time zone but remember they are Standard Time year round not DST. So Arizona has Mountain Standard Time year round.
Mexico did away with DST as of this year. DST does not make sense in the tropics anyway where the Sun’s latitude’s doesn’t change that much throughout the year.
Things are a lot more complicated these days and having a patchwork of time zones throughout the country doesn’t make much sense. Creates a real mess. Just check out how it worked last spring for Mexico when didn’t go into DST.
Most of the motives I’ve ever heard from people is selfish because they like that extra hour of daylight after they get off work. However many countries run with “flex time” so some of the workers can come in earlier and thus leave earlier anyway.
.
DST should be permanent.
.
Sorry, companies not countries. “However many companies run with “flex time””.
We’re still stuck in the last century. We communicate with the whole world these days. Forget time zones and just use UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) for the whole world. No math needed to know when to talk to someone on the other side of the globe.
@Captain Bebops – the people who program the schedule for testing the earthquake alert system would fully agree with you!
I suspect that UTC will be the way the world will go. It’s a bit “globalist” but a good idea unlike many other globalist ideas. People will like it once they get used to it.
Most electronic devices change time while you sleep.
These guys have it much harder with time changes.
